Graphic 45 - Bird Song Shadow Box

Here is a little shadow box I put together using the gorgeous Bird Song papers from Graphic 45. I am completely in love with this collection, I am not sure what I love more, this range or Olde Curiosity Shoppe (they are both too gorgeous!!).

To make this project I took a small balsa wood shadow box and slowly covered it all in the Bird Song Papers. Once covered I 'Modge Podged' the whole lot to give it a nice glossy shine. I then added bronze embellishments, a bit of ink, hand folded fans and some gold rub n buff. Super happy with how this turned out.

Here are a couple of close ups and different angles, thanks for stopping by!!

Scrapbookit - Basic Grey, Soleil Collection

Happy Weekend to you all, welcome to Saturday :-)

Today I am delighted to bring you a bright and happy collection of papers from Basic Grey's Soleil collection. 

Our final layout challenge for this year is to scraplift a fabulous page that Mel our DT leader has designed. Please find below firstly Mel's layout and then my lift following straight after. 

  
I only made a few minor changes to my own layout, following Mel's to be closely the same yet a little different. I thought theses papers perfect for page one of my upcoming baby album. I have kept it no secret I am having a girl and now by showing this I am announcing her name too, I am ok with this ;-) 

Janene has set our card challenge for the month and the challenge is to create a Christmas card using lace as an embellishment. My own personal challenge was to create a card using pastel coloured based papers, could it be done? yes it can!!. Christmas cards do not necessarily need to always red and green do they? throw some colour in I say (and use only a little green or red!)

 

We welcome you to all join in our challenges, so please be sure to email your interpretations through to Jo at joanne@scrapbookit.com.au by December 14th. You can pop on over to the gallery (click here) to check out all of the entries.

I look foward to bringing you a few of my other creations using these papers early next month, until then though keep happy and creative!!

Graphic 45 Bird Song - Made With Memories

It is with a big THANK you and a cheery farewell to my time on the design team with Made With Memories, many thanks Anne-Marie for your support and encouragement over the last year. It has been an absolute pleasure being part of your team. Please be sure to check out the design team call if you wish to join a fun and active team - Design Team Call LINK.

As my grand finale for the team I wanted to create a few very special projects which are now on display in the shop. I had the absolute pleasure of working with the GORGEOUS Graphic 45 Bird Song paper, what a joy it is to work with their paper. I just love Graphic 45 products, cannot seem to get enough of them!!!. 

My first OTP project was a configuration box, I used all kinds of random bits and bobs I had in my secret craft stash (don't we all have one of those?). 

I came across a small balsa wood bag in my local Spotight store, I thought it PERFECT to make another OTP project with my Bird Song paper. This was super fun to make, every thing just fell into place so perfectly. 

 

Scrapbookit - Kaisercraft's Just Believe

Hi Everyone,

Wow!! what a busy month it has been for Scrapbookit, a BIG congratulations to Jo for completing the huge shop move and also a BIG hello and welcome to all who participated in our blog hop. 

In saying that I think now is a most appropriate time to announce the winner of my RAK, I am pleased to say Maree is the lucky winner. Maree please contact me on remorris76@gmail.com with your contact details and I will post out your goodies to you ASAP. Congratulations!!! 

My DT kit for this month contained Kaisercraft's Just Believe collection, a gorgeous collection of bold papers in rich greens, reds and other coordinating colours. To look at this paper I think most people would automatically think Christmas, this would be a fair assumption because it is mainly Christmas themed. However, Christmas themed paper can be used for many different projects, it can be very versatile. I have completed four projects (two here, two for the blog hop) this month and have used the paper for all non Christmas related items.

Below is a layout containing a photo of my grandparents, two people who will always love each other dearly. It is a little hard to see in the photo but all the flowers have been fussy cut from other sheets of paper and layered. The scalloped piece of paper has also been fussy cut from another sheet. The Thickers used were quite a bright green, to dull them down a little I inked over them with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

 Products Used : Kaisercraft Just Believe Papers, Thickers (Colour - Merry), Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

 A small thank you card.......

Thank you all for taking the time to look, I wish you all a fabulous and extremely creative weekend.

Scrapbookit - Everyday Eclectic

Hi Everybody, 

Welcome to the weekend, time to amp up the crafting mojo and get your craft on.

This month I was sent a wonderful design team kit full of the new Echo Park Everyday Eclectic range. This range is very cool, it can easily can go in a few different directions, from cute through to  to arty. The amount of superb stickers you get on the 12 x 12 sticker sheet is excellent, it should go without saying but I loved the letter stickers too (and as you can see even all combined together they look pretty good).

I was asked to set the challenge this month and immediately came up with the following criteria. 

• Twine
• Hexagons 
• A quote

At the time I thought, yep nice one Rebecca, good challenge. I still stand by that good challenge statement, however I did not anticipate it would cause me to pause over my papers studying them for nearly an hour. I admit to struggling with getting this one started, once it began though it evolved into a fun colourful fun page. For those of you lucky enough to have a Cricut you will be very pleased to know the Accent Essentials cartridge has a choice of hexagons which you can use. 

Now the photos used were taken at the Jelly Belly Factory in California. I have always loved Jelly Belly Jelly Beans, I have never hidden this fact. It was one of my USA trip highlights to visit the factory and enjoy all the yummy samples. I have to admit as a visitor my husband and I may have been on the rather old side of the age group, none the less LOVED every minute of it.  

 I am very much looking forward to seeing all your challenge creations!!

Please e-mail them through to Jo at Scrapbookit by the 14th September.
